1st Attempt For Old Drum

Had a couple of first today. 5 miles from the house at 4:45 is the 1st time in 41 years of driving I ever hit a deer. Nothing major, just need a new front bumper. Put the boat in around 6:30 and couldn't resist fishing a few docks on the way out to the river. Caught 4 flounder with one keeper. Now my 1st attempt at catching an old drum. Once we hit the river it was only about 15 minutes later my popping cork went under. A few minutes later I had my 1st old drum in the boat. Measured 46". A day to remember.

Congrats! That's a beauty! Glad to hear the Old Drum are hitting the poppers like that and not just a rumor. Word is that is gaining popularity over soaking bait at times. Hoping we catch his brother when we get down there in a few weeks. Pretty fish man.
